I think it was a sea sunfish!
I do know the towel trick. This particular bird hit my plug as soon as it landed. Pretty far out. I couldn't get him in. Trust me, I felt really bad.
Another dead thing today, ocean side.
I think I got LennyD beat with this one..:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Turtle or alien?

I think you found the Montauk Monster, Jersey style! :laugh: :HappyWave:
Should have put my rod next to it for size comparison, but I was afraid of it......
Was a good 6 feet long at least.
Imagine standing in the water at 2:30 AM and this bumps into you :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Wow so are some intense pictures.:eek:
Makes you wonder what strange creatures roam our seas and attack.
Are you sure the kitty was locked inside on some of those days?:d
Great thread.
I wish I have a picture but definitely off all the dead things I've seen surfcasting this one took the cake: a leatherback turtle that had to weigh several hundred pounds or more at Block Island this year. It was simply enormous and stank up the beach pretty bad. It had a big gouge in the neck area so either it was attacked by a shark or got hit by a propellor. You would need a bulldozer or a crane just to move the thing off the beach. :eek:
It looked intimidating enough that my buds and I kept a safe respectful distance from it.
That thing is huge Monty, maybe the remains of an ocean sunfish?Quote:

Wow freaky stuff guys! Plugcrazy that thing looks like an ocean sunfish to me, but the mouth part is confusing, it almost looks like a beak or curved jaw. Monty, in the middle of the bottom pic you took, it kind of looks like a turtle's head, but that thing is too big to be a turtle. It's almost like some aliens were experimenting and dumped the body out of thier spacecraft when done.
Plugcrazy and Monty those are exotic finds. The only thing I found this year was a dead bluefish while walking the dog at the summer house in LBI.
Fishing an area I have fished for 15 years. Have never found 3 dead bass at one time. Used to never see a dead bass there. Last year more than ever, this year already ahead of last year. Middle pic has a fish in belly?

Looks like it could be a weakfish in the middle.
Found this on the net, a guy took a pic of this dead sturgeon at IBSP today.
Cool!
xtremevisions, that has the wings of a sea robin but the coloration of a dogfish. Must have been dead for quite some time. Was there a stink coming from it?
No stink..shark washed up while i was fishing..eyes gone and the insides then i ran across the wings so i got creative as i was bored out my mind for hrs!
So you put parts together from 2 creatures to make that?:scared: Awesome! Long Island has the Montauk Monster, we now have the Amboy Monster!:kicknuts:
That was on sandy hook.
